Following the correct processes, while capturing the right information and evidence, is key to maintaining compliance and safety across manufacturing workforces.

Extended Reality can digitise workflows to ensure workers follow every step correctly, while easily documenting what they have completed to ensure compliance isn’t skipped. Technicians can also connect with supervisors via XR devices to video stream a live inspection, increasing compliance and driving efficiencies by not requiring the inspector/supervisor to be physically present.

Providing workers with access to the latest knowledge, SOPs and other documentation can be challenging. Traditional paper copies can be difficult to use and maintain, damage easily, and often require workers to remove PPE, such as gloves, to be able to use them.

Digitising documentation provides a simple, secure and reliable option, but XR takes this further by also making the documentation available hands-free – meaning no downing of tools or removal of PPE is needed. Using simple hands-free document navigation, workers can access the up-to-date information they need to work effectively. Additionally, digital workflows can also help to increase productivity and accuracy by guiding them through SOPs.
